So Johnathan Simmons is now an unrestricted FA I wonder what the Spurs are doing.

The Spurs give up on people fast once they lose faith in the them. I suspect the team felt Simmons wasn't going to be the player they wanted so once they signed Rudy they preferred the cap space to Simmons. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player of course. He could still make his mark on the league.

Woj is reporting the Spurs are still negotiating with Simmons however. It could be just a way to pay him more (or less) than his current contract allows. I was more than a little surprised to hear that Simmons is going to be 28 before the season starts.

Pelicans officials are meeting with Rajon Rondo today in Louisville about a possible one-year deal, league sources tell ESPN.

I would think Rondo wouldn't be too eager to play again with Cousins.

Cousins liked Rondo, and probably has been politicking for him. After Rondo signed with Chicago, this was DeMarcus:

“I mean it sucks,” Cousins said. “Me and Rondo really grew a great bond. He became a big brother to me. I learned a lot from him....One thing I can say is Chicago’s getting a great person and a great player. Promise me y’all are going to take care of him.”

Earlier in the season, DeMarcus said that he “will kidnap him myself” to keep Rondo in Sacramento. From that quote, it seems like that DeMarcus had found a teammate that he had a great bond with, and that should have been a priority to keep him in a Kings uniform.

I was remembering when Rondo blew up because it was just him and a rookie showing up at shoot arounds when he was at SacTown.
